Digital Oversight: A Journey of Growth and Achievement - March 2025

Reflecting on Two Years of Growth and Success

It’s hard to believe that it has been just over two years since we embarked on the journey to establish Digital Oversight. As we look back, we are proud to reflect on how far we’ve come. What started modestly, but with big ideas, aspirations, and plans for both our clients and partners, has now evolved into a well-established company. As we move into Spring 2025, we are pleased to say that we’ve accomplished everything we set out to do in terms of building a strong foundation for our business.

Knowledge and Expertise

At the core of Digital Oversight is a highly skilled and diverse team, carefully assembled to bring together expertise across several interrelated disciplines. Each member of our team plays a vital role in ensuring we can offer best-in-class thought leadership, solutions, and services for our clients. It’s a team we trust, and our clients and partners trust too. The team includes:

• Cyber Security, Risk Management, and Assurance Experts: Professionals who bring years of experience in enabling organisations by quantifying and managing risk.
• Cyber Security Architecture and Engineering: Our architects and engineers specialise in adaptive risk management, with skills in areas such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Security Engineering, Detection Engineering, Cloud Security, Data Management, and Orchestration and Automation, SecDevOps and general technology management.
• Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP): A key member of our team working exclusively on advanced, automated application design, build-out, and continuous updates alongside our Cyber and Data Analytics teams.
• Data Analytics and Business Intelligence Specialists: Experts in Power BI analytics and reporting, delivering actionable insights to our clients.
• Insurance Professionals: Specialists who lead discussions with global insurance and reinsurance markets to provide tailored solutions.

Our Executive and Management teams are supported by an exceptional International Advisory Board. This group of advisors brings invaluable leadership and industry knowledge:

• Cyber Security Leadership: Advisors like Gary, who has literally written the book on Security Operations Centres.
• Global Insurance Leadership: Advisors including John, Louis, and Mark K, whose insights drive our strategies in the insurance sector.
• Risk Management Experts: Advisors such as Richard, providing vital direction in managing enterprise risk.
• Physical, Personnel, and Information Security: With the addition of Mark C to the Board, we now have experts in all areas of security.

Our Board’s global reach, spanning North America, the EU, Asia, Central Asia, and beyond, provides critical insights into regional and international security trends.

Finally, we are proud that our whole team reflects our full support of the Armed Forces Covenant, reflected in the number of veterans in our team and our advisory board.

Our Solutions and Services

With the right team in place, we have been able to offer solutions and services that meet the ever-evolving needs of our clients. Here are a few highlights:

• The CARM App: A Risk Management application built on the Microsoft ecosystem, ensuring no data leaves your organisation, and is always under your secure control. It has been developed by our MVP and Microsoft Certified Security Architect. The CARM App is the centrepiece of our offerings and has already been customised for several clients and partners. It is available in multiple languages, with further bespoke versions being developed for others.
• INSIGHT Compliance and Threat Assessments: An automated tool providing comprehensive compliance assessments with dashboard visualised insights, showing control status, threat management, and prioritised remediation actions.
• VALIDATE Vulnerability Scanning: As a certified Qualys consultant, our Cyber Engineers conduct external and internal vulnerability scans using the world-leading Qualys vulnerability platform. Along with Qualys own reporting, we provide our own custom reports, enriched with advanced data analytics and crosswalk mapping to further highlight key vulnerabilities and risks.

Strategic Partnerships

A core aim of our strategy has been to prioritise building a network of strategic partnerships to extend our reach, enhance our offerings, and provide additional value to our clients. Some of the notable achievements include:

• Global Reach Through Partnerships: Our collaboration with companies in Asia, the MEA region, and beyond has enabled us to quickly expand into regions that might have otherwise taken years to penetrate. These partnerships give us local expertise and established relationships.
• Deepening Client Relationships: In the UK, we’ve expanded the depth of services for one of our clients by leveraging the expertise of  UK-based partner companies.
• Cyberteq Partnership: One of our most notable collaborations, the partnership with Cyberteq (https://www.digitaloversight.ai/news/cyberteq-digital-oversight), exemplifies our commitment to achieving mutually beneficial outcomes for all parties involved.

We’re also excited to announce that more major regional and industry-specific partnerships will be unveiled soon, so stay tuned!

Messaging and Brand Growth

In late 2024, after assembling our exceptional team and laying the groundwork for global partnerships, we decided it was time to share our story.

Recognising the importance of professional marketing, we partnered with Childsey, a growth agency that has been instrumental in helping us craft and communicate our message. We owe a lot to Simon, Alex, and the entire Childsey team for their outstanding work in shaping and spreading our brand’s narrative, even when we didn’t always agree on the exact wording!

Our Shareholders

None of this would have been possible without the support of the shareholders of Digital Oversight along the way. Their belief in our vision has given us the ability to build a talented team, develop cutting-edge solutions, and establish key partnerships. A heartfelt thank you goes out to our shareholders for their continued trust and support.

Moving Forward

As we celebrate the milestones achieved over the past two years, we are looking forward to the future with optimism and excitement. Our journey is far from over, and we are committed to growing, adapting, and continuing to deliver exceptional value to our clients and partners.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey thus far—whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or more recently joined the team. Onwards and upwards.
